sharke: I'm glad you decided to check the vids out. Yeah the TS is a pretty cool little plug. I didn't like it at first because I was using it wrong. Now that I know you get more "effect" out of the plug having the threshold counter-clockwise, it made all the difference in the world. Still not sold on the timbre controls....I'd rather eq that myself. But it's nice to have them just in case for a different sound.

On the word timbre.....you're English so every word you hear me say will be wrong. LOL! Nah, I'd never use the French version. I don't get along with the French for some reason and they don't like me either. LOL! I got one French friend....Zo from this forum! He's the only one that can stomach me for more than 5 minutes. LOL!

You should hear me fight with the French dudes on Xbox 360...man, if they could go to war with me and bomb the US, they would. LOL! :) I can't tell you how many times they've threatened to bomb my house. Hahaha...darn video games! :) 

LOL - I never got on with the French either. I think it all stems from a trip to Paris when I was a kid...one of them obviously got stuck in my craw and it stayed with me. Didn't help that I went on to do battle with every French teacher I had at school, all of whom drove Renault 4's (the one with the gear stick on the dashboard). For what it's worth, I pronounced timber the same as you until (I think) I heard Frank Zappa say it in an interview years ago. Not that it's a big deal though, everyone understand what it means in the context and to be honest I think there are probably more people who mispronounce it than don't. 

Here is a link to a good Sound on Sound article which also explains the Sonar Transient Shaper rather well. This could be some extra info on top of Danny's rather good video.

Haha! I can so relate man....I got one worse for ya. I was in Paris...my first and only time. Having dinner with a bunch of music industry people. I decide to pick up the tab and leave a pretty fat tip...like REALLY fat. There were 6 of us and we ate and drank like pigs. I literally was called yankee pond scum and a bunch of other things for leaving a nice tip! The dude got all in my face and said "what, do you feel sorry for me? I don't need your money....I ef your mother!" I won't share what happened next, but it wasn't pretty. LOL! I was so shocked, I had to replay it all back in my mind 5 times before realized what was said to me. THEN I jumped up and flipped out. Hahaha! Here I thought I was doing the right thing being nice....sheesh, never again. At least, not in France. LOL!
 
I really have nothing against those people....they just don't seem to like me. I don't know who's worse with hating me, the French or the Italians! In Italy, they didn't like me talking to their women. Hahaha! I was on a mission though...was hoping to land one and bring her back home with me. That's the last time I'll say "but but, I'm Danny Danzi!" You get tired of hearing "che? che Dobby Dobzi?" all the time I tell ya! :)

Thanks Danny
You've obviously put a lot of work and thought into these videos and I for one am grateful.
Keep up the good work I'm sure lot's of us on here will gain from your Knowledge.

The unspoken thing here is that Danny is using a free plugin that comes with X2. Its something I have been saying for a long time now the plugins that come with Sonar are extremely useful as well as, as good as any hight priced third party ones. 

Many users underestimate what they have with the stock plugins.  

I read where one user talked about the PC as if it were useless to them. My view is that those that have that attitude don't have a clue how to use them. This applies to nearly all CW plugins.  Give them a chance before going out and paying good money for redundant third party ones. 

People have to realize that CW plugins are as well coded as the program itself. They were never just thrown in. They have real uses.

Thanks Danny for hi-lighting  a very useful plugin.  

 

Thanks very much Danny - Cool videos.

Hah!

You and Danny would definitely NOT want to work for my organisation.

Rough estimate I'd say is about 33% French

Cool Beans!!! Something about your accent makes me long for a quality Philly cheese steak.

Thanks Danny.

OK, quick OT question.
What color options did you set to change your meters?

And thanks for the videos. 
Helpful as always.
I've never even opened the Transient Shaper...I will now.

Great stuff. What you described is the classic European mainland attitude toward anything American (or indeed anything British as well). All you can do is laugh really, it's just small minded pettiness. I sometimes meet French or German tourists in New York and because I'm English they think it's OK to start mouthing off about Americans and America, and I'm like: "and yet here you are spending thousands on a vacation to come here." They have a low opinion of Americans, and yet they couldn't wait to hop on a plane and see the place. I think a lot of it has to do with a resentment they feel when they see how enthusiastic their kids are about American culture. The French are forever launching campaigns to ban non-French music on the radio, or to weed out any Americanisms which have crept into their language. Anyway I don't know if you saw this story recently but I thought you might get a kick out of it
